Makes even me look good.

Review by al rotundo, 2009-08-19

I am no master technician with a camera, but my s100fs is letting me get some great shots in a variety of conditions. I am in Niagara Falls NY and spend a lot of time in the parks and the upper river islands, as well as down the lower Niagara Gorge. I shoot in not always the most pristine conditions. Having an all-in-one alternative to a DSLR w/ lens kit really works for me. (No dust or dirt!) I have also owned both the s7000 and the s6000fd and liked them both very much. The S100fs is what i was waiting for - a superzoom DSLR.

I also shoot concerts at Artpark in Lewiston NY The long zoom is terrific with the dual image stabilization. The new 11.1 mp sensor does in fact seem made for that barrel (and vice-versa). The fold-down lcd viewfinder is great for shooting at angles and over crowds, don't know how i lived without it.

Full manual everything gives you maximum control, and the scene positions are also a good guarantee of usable images, but I've gotten addicted to the bracketing on this model - especially for dynamic range and film simulation. Also, the face detection on this camera works flawlessly and delivers great results.

Physically, it's big and bad and fits my hands perfectly. I would have liked to see HD video in the S100fs. I'll be waiting for that in my next camera.

5 stars, very pleased.

Splendid Camera

Review by Rachel Barr, 2009-07-05

While all digital cameras have their strengths and weaknesses, some are heavier on strengths than others. Until very recently I found Canon cameras were always a safe bet; I've shot Canon almost exclusively for over 30 years. But the last couple of Canons I bought left me feeling some frustration and disappointment. Never thought I'd be saying it, but there it is.

Before purchasing the Fuji, I read many online professional and user reviews (including the ones here) and downloaded and viewed hundreds of sample images at the pixel level. I read about the purple fringing and soft corners problematic with this camera, and I saw some of that in the samples. But in my research I also found a lot of good stuff that made the camera a very attractive d-SLR alternative. And so I hoped that the trade-off would be worth it. Namely better dynamic range, color accuracy and usable images taken at higher ISOs.

I'm so pleased to report that this camera delivers on all counts. Dynamic range is the best of all the CCD-sensor cameras currently marketed. And images taken at ISO 800 are cleaner, sharper and more color accurate than the images taken with my Canon SX10 at ISO 80 and 100. There really is no comparison. Fuji wins, hands down! When I auto-adjust a Fuji image in Adobe Photoshop CS3, oftentimes there's no change at all. Pictures are spot-on, straight from the camera.

Unexpected surprises were less barrel distortion at extreme wide angle and incredibly fine resolution. I can crop images to approximate the 560mm of optical zoom in the SX10 with no reduction at all in detail. In fact, the Fuji crops are clearer than the full frames from the SX10. This is due to a less aggressive approach to noise suppression and the way that Fuji has arranged the pixels on the sensor.

Focusing is both quick and accurate. Colors are pleasing in the film simulation modes as well as standard mode. Shutter lag is lower than average, even in low lighting and poor contrast conditions. The macro modes require some work to eke out the best from subjects, but when I get it right--wow!

Canon superzooms have spoiled me with their articulating LCDs. The LCD on the S100fs, while not as versatile as a 180-degree swiveling one, is very usable and makes easy work of ground, waist level and over-the-head shots. The LCD is easy to see even outdoors thanks to the brightness adjustment feature.

The only areas where the Fuji really lags behind are in its review mode and shooting and review menus. Canon and others have the edge here--reviewing images with the Fuji is clunky and slow, and deleting images requires three button presses followed by a rather long pause while the image is erased. It's a pretty primitive procedure compared to late-model cameras of other major brands, and Fuji could take some pointers in these regards.

Battery life is short at 250 shots per charge; I really prefer rechargeable AA power, which is nearly always longer-lived than proprietary batteries. It helps a lot, though, that the battery recharges very rapidly. I've picked up three extras to make sure I'm good to go for a full day in the field, so no worries!

For this photographer, at least, the last word is image quality. And where it matters most Fuji is the clear winner, strutting head and shoulders above its competition. Yes, there is occasional purple fringing, but it is only troublesome in the most extreme contrast scenes and at certain combinations of ISO, aperture and shutter speed. Happily, this kind of image is the exception and not the rule and can be dealt with pretty effectively in Adobe Camera Raw. And, anyway, to my eye, purple fringing is not quite as distracting as the royal blue, green, bright red and yellow fringing that plagues some of the SX10 images.

Fuji Finepix S100fs will be a hard act to follow. RAW imaging, excellent image quality and great performance make this camera a clear winner. It's easy to see why it earned the TIPA Gold Award for 2008!

excellent for the money

Review by Raynaldo Seal, 2009-07-01

This is an excellent camera for the money. it has tons of features,and allows you to be creative. It's more than your regular point and shoot camera, yet not a high end expensive SLR. If you are looking for better than average photos that won't break your wallet,This is the way to go. Doesn't include a memory card, Which is a must, if you plan to take more than 10 pics at 11 MB. I have only had this camera for a month. I still have a lot to learn. But i'm very happy with it so far.

good camera...at all

Review by Ruslan Dmitriev, 2009-06-13

I've bought this camera after 2-3 years of using Fuji S5600, about 6 months ago. I was searching for something with improved zoom range, optical image stabilization etc...something more modern.
After getting S100FS, firstly, I was very impressed by style (like SLR and heavier than, e.g. Nikon D60), but was little disappointed: it is still not an SLR and sensor makes a big noise (comparably to Nikon D60 again), manual focus is not the same that I expected. But it was ended after 2-3 weeks of using this camera. Getting accustomed, I observed that quality of pictures became at least twice better than on S5600. At ISO 200 (JPEG) the noise is negligible, at ISO 400 (that I use sometimes for HDR mode) it is little bit higher, however, ISO1600 (in RAW) can give you not too bad results. I almost never use film simulation modes, rarely SP1 and SP2, but "custom" modes C1 and C2 are very helpful in addition to A and M modes that I use quite often. Lenses are almost ideal and work perfectly both in telephoto and macro/supermacro modes.
Overall, everything is quite good, but I should noted to some points that would be improved in next Fuji bridge cameras:
- relatively slow auto-focus (for example, if you trying to make photo of a flying bird, like cormorant; almost always it is impossible. You could use manual focus, but it is a more slow option;
- in comparison to S5600, you cannot make aperture bracketing, for this improved camera it would be more interesting option than various automatic modes;
- Using eye viewfinder is it not too easy sometimes...you have switch to LCD to change some settings in menu;

In conclusion, I can say that this camera is almost excellent choice for Fuji S5600/9600 or other bridge camera lovers, this is almost SLR with good lens of a wide focal range and it costs approx. 1000 euro less than similar SLR.
